The easiest way to transfer all of your contacts is for you to enter the Gmail account that you used on your Huawei phone so that all of your contacts will appear on your new device.

On your old device you had your contacts backed up on your Gmail email account that you placed on the device so now all you will need to do is enter that information into the new device in order for you to be able to pull up all of your information.

I have a tmobile sim and changed to straight talk when my contract was up. I put in the st. talk sim I bought..and the phone works..but terribly! Dropped calls..cannot hear on many calls as fades in and out and constantly drops the gps signals! My 3g flickers on and off all day long..every few seconds. Walmart said I may need a straight talk phone to fix this..yet the advertise using any unlocked gsm type phone! No way!!

Someone said: Even if you have a ST sim, you still have to have an unlocked phone...I am using an ATT phone but it was unlocked and then I got a ST sim and it works perfectly....same with my last phone...however, who is the Carrier for Tmobile...if its not Sprint, then that might be your problem also...the girl at Walmart told me NOT to get a phone that was used on Verizon!! Hope this helps some.

Someone said: I know exactly how you feel. i had straight talk with att iphone 3 and it worked perfectly. then my friend bought me a tmobile samsung s3. I had to purchase the tmobile straight talk sim and the service was horrible. I was under the impression that using any phone with straight talk, I would be strictly on the straight talk (att) network. NOT! straight talk att sim works on att network and straight talk tmobile sim works on tmobile network. I ended up trading my tmobile samsung s3 for an att samsung s3 and it works perfectly.

You can contact straight talk for your unlock code...sometimes its not those numbers...or 1. The last four digits of your Social Security number. or 2. The last four digits of your phone number. 3. According to Straight Talk Customer Service, four straight digits sometimes work, such as 0000, or 1111.

Someone said: on my shg-a927 samsung it was the last four digits of my number and unlocked it, also if that don't work call the carrier of the phone you got it from and they can give you apn unlock with no prob!! at

sillydumbasspeople said: denise.mccullers.5 ... You might not understand the difference between CDMA and GSM.. My Samsung SCH-R355C is CDMA, no sim, my ZTE Merit has a sim.. google the frequence differences between the CDMA and GSM, and then you will understand the difference between ATT, Verizon, T-Mobil and Sprint..

mindinspired said: Some Sprint and Verizon phones are worldphones, such as the Sprint Photon. In that case they run both CDMA and GSM. Seems like there is some confusion here regarding the use of phones that come from CDMA providers on GSM networks with a SIM. Most Sprint phones do not have GSM capability, but worldphones do.

dbrandt said: Ok, I am a helen keller of technology, so bear with me please. My husband was currently laid off and I am out of contract with sprint. I would like to continue having a phone but don't want to pay as much for a 2 year contract. I have read on here, that there are ways to use my Evo from sprint on straight talk. I have no clue what some of these topics pertain to, so if someone could help me figure this out, I would appreciate it. I have an Evo, would like to go to straight talk.
If I can't use my evo, could I purchase a verizon phone off of ebay and activiate it on straight talk? Please help this helen keller! :)

Someone said: you can search for straight talk prepaid phones on ebay instead of verizon. as far as ur evo goes u can call straighttalk at 877-430-2355 and ask them; if evo has a SIM card in it under the battery now and u dont owe sprint money on ur plan then u should be able to use it on straighttalk

Someone said: Go to XDA developers site for more info. Using Sprint or Verizon for Straight Talk means having a world phone and being able to unlock GSM. If you're uncomfortable modifying your phone, you're better off trading it out for an at&t, T-Mobile, or already unlocked GSM phone. Then you just need to put the straight talk similar card in to use it.

It may not be unlocked. Does it ask for the unlock code when you put the sim card in? If so, you`ll need to call at&t to get the unlock code. Just explain that you bought it online with the impression that it was unlocked.

itmatterw2 said: Most carriers will not gsm unlock a phone if it is used and purchased off internet etc with out the previouse owner calling in with the imei number to verify theor info and to have the phone serial number listed under ur name
